When you have root-level access to a hosting server, it means that you'll have full control of it. In other words, you can install any server-side application whatever the changes that it'll make to the software setting on your server, and you will be able to both access and modify any kind of file, which includes system files, and modify any settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user which has full privileges to do the aforementioned things as well as to generate other users, including users that also have full privileges. This particular can be established through a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it's recommended that you create a different user for your everyday work and employ the root user only when you have to customize the server or to install software that may be needed by a script-driven app that you'd like to run.
Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers
The Linux VPS servers which we supply are appropriate for various different purposes, based on what you would like to install and run on them and the experience that you have. If your server is ordered with the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access and will be able to control your world-wide web content with a graphical interface, whereas you can still set up server-side apps that may be needed by your websites and even by offline applications, which include VoIP programs, media encoding software, various frameworks, and many others. Devoid of Control Panel, you will also have full root-level access, but you will need to do everything through a console. If you choose to use our tailor-made Hepsia hosting Control Panel, there're certain root access limitations, but this configuration is the easiest to control. This way, you can choose the virtual server plan that you really need.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers
Each dedicated server that we offer provides you with full root-level access, when the server is ordered without a Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you would like to set up and run heavy, resource-demanding applications and they have special requirements about the server software environment that can't be fulfilled by a regular shared web hosting plan, our servers are the most suitable solution. With no Control Panel at hand, you'll be able to access the server and update its settings as well as the content which you upload with a console, whereas with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you'll have a graphical interface to control everything related to your web content, and most server-side settings. Needless to say, if you get a dedicated server without a Control Panel, you may always set up a third-party instrument manually, as long as it is compatible with the OS that you've chosen at signup. When you select the Hepsia Control Panel from the order page, you'll have restricted root access, however you can still do a number of things through a Secure Shell console.
